What is the leadership event?
It is a great opportunity to share and learn from one another and gain enthusiasm to take back to your campus group. The annual event is a four-day conference/retreat in August that brings college women from across the country to reflect on their growing Christian faith, speak their voices and launch into action on a specific social justice issue. Participants connect with one another and unite their voices into a common mission of spirit and service.

 
             
   
  Who attends?
The NNPCW leadership event is open to all young women in college from rising freshmen to graduating seniors. Campus members of NNPCW will be granted the first opportunity to reserve space at the event. Campuses may send up to five students.

Who plans it?
NNPCW staff, students representing the NNPCW Coordinating Committee (CoCo), NNPCW members-at-large and the NNPCW chaplain liaison serve on the Leadership Event Planning Team. The General Assembly council liaison also provides advice and assistance in the planning process. All NNPCW events are intended to be student-focused and student-driven.
